Sauro's request was not taken kindly by Alvarez, first leading to an argument before Alvarez allegedly drew a pistol and fired shots at Sauro's vehicle. One bullet blew out a tire and and a second was fired through the windshield and lodged in the vehicle's speedometer.

When police later reviewed additional surveillance and bystander footage, it was determined that Sauro allegedly struck Alvarez with his vehicle prior to the shooting.

"We are living in trying and uncertain times right now, and everyone needs to exercise patience with one another and not resort to violence." Cambria County District Attorney Greg Neugebauer said in a statement. "Special thanks go out to our first responders, including the police, who throughout this pandemic continue to work with the public every day to ensure the health and safety of our community."

Sauro and Alvarez have both been charged with aggravated assault and recklessly endangering another person.
